Horizontal well subsection multi-cluster current-limiting fracturing method with perforation sub-clusters
Technical Field
The invention relates to a horizontal well subsection multi-cluster current-limiting fracturing method with perforating sub-clusters, and belongs to the field of oil gas and geothermal reservoir transformation.
Background
Horizontal well staged multi-cluster fracturing is a main means for developing compact oil-gas resources and hot dry rock geothermal resources at present. The method generally involves first setting a bridge plug to segment a horizontal wellbore and perforating at multiple locations on the casing in the segment using perforating guns, referred to as multiple clusters. Generally, each fracturing segment has 3-12 clusters of perforation holes, the cluster spacing is 10-30 m, and the length of each perforation cluster on the casing is 0.2-2 m. And then, pumping fracturing fluid into the segment in a large-displacement and large-liquid-volume mode so as to realize simultaneous fracture initiation and expansion of the hydraulic fracture from a plurality of perforation clusters. Although segmented multi-cluster fracturing can significantly reduce construction costs, the fracturing effect often cannot reach a desired level. The field productivity monitoring data shows that the distribution height of the staged multi-cluster fractured horizontal well productivity along the length direction of a shaft is non-uniform, and a plurality of perforation clusters even have no fluid output in the later production process. There were studies showing that the production of 2/3 came from a 1/3 perforation cluster, with a perforation cluster approaching 1/3 contributing nothing to the production capacity. The phenomenon is caused to a great extent by that strong stress interference exists among a plurality of synchronously-expanded cracks, so that only the cracks of a part of perforation clusters are successfully expanded outwards to form effective cracks, and the cracks of other perforation clusters are extruded and are difficult to extend outwards to form ineffective perforation clusters. In order to solve the problem, the industry generally adopts a current-limiting mode to limit fracturing fluid to continuously enter into dominant fractures and force the fracturing fluid to uniformly enter into each perforation cluster, so that the possibility of invalid perforation clusters in the staged multi-cluster fracturing process of the horizontal well is reduced, and a staged multi-cluster current-limiting fracturing technology of the horizontal well is formed.
The existing horizontal well subsection multi-cluster flow-limiting fracturing mainly has the following problems: because reservoir rock inevitably has heterogeneity of different degrees, under the supporting of stress interference effect among multiple fractures, horizontal well subsection multiple cluster flow-limiting fracturing is difficult to uniformly and symmetrically expand outwards as shown in figure 1. Under the effect of flow restriction, although each perforation cluster can successfully expand outwards, hydraulic fractures are difficult to simultaneously and fully expand outwards on two sides of a wellbore, and multiple fractures can alternately expand outwards on one side of the wellbore, as shown in fig. 2.
Therefore, the invention provides a horizontal well subsection multi-cluster flow-limiting fracturing method with perforating sub-clusters, which overcomes the defects of the prior art.
